Hi,
My front drivers side halo indicator isn't working. Well the indicator is but the halo bit isn't. Does the whole unit need to be replaced or is there a bulb for the halo bit?
Anyone got one for sale and how much?
This looks like it
Many thanks,
Alan

Hi Alan,
It's a bulb gone for the halo. It's just a W5 led bulb. Cheap as chips on eBay etc but get a set, two in each halo so 4 in a set.
Just thinking....it might be a bad connection where the halo light wires join to the MINI wires. They get a lot of water and crap thrown at them in that area so check and clean the connections and try them as this happened me before.
Hope this helps

Yes that's them Alan
Some are a bit blue than other's and some are more white so that's why I recommend replacing the 4 because then they'll all match up
Also just make sure it's not just a bad connection in that part of the wiring loom from the led bulbs to the MINI wiring as it is very common.
